One of the matches in the 14th round of the Norwegian championship will be held on Saturday at the "Fredrikstad" stadium, where the local club of the same name will host Molde. Here is the prediction for this match from the Dailysports experts.

The "Aristocrats" won the second division last year and were promoted to the top tier of Norwegian football. Fredrikstad has made an impressive start, currently sitting in fifth place in the standings. They are 11 points behind the leaders but only three points away from fourth-placed Viking.

In their most recent game, they suffered a 1-3 defeat away to Kristiansund. At home, Fredrikstad has secured only two wins out of five matches, with one loss.
Molde

In the current Eliteserien season, Erling Moe's team is in third place, having accumulated 27 points from 14 rounds.
Molde is six points behind the league leaders Bodø/Glimt. They have been in good form recently, most notably with a 3-0 home victory against Lillestrøm in their last match. This was their second consecutive win, and they are unbeaten in their last four league games.
